01What’s the minimum order?

One coconut if it’s just for you. For bars it’s one crate of 9, and trade accounts get crate pricing and set delivery days.

02Where do you deliver?

Fresh delivery across the region, free on orders over $300. Running an event further afield? Ask us and we’ll sort it.

03How does a trade account work?

Pick a standing order, weekly or fortnightly, and we turn up on the same day each time. You get one invoice a month and first dibs on peak-season stock.

04How long do they keep?

Chilled, they’re at their best for about two weeks from delivery. Once opened, serve them the same day.

05How should we store them?

Upright in the chiller, out of direct sun. Don’t freeze them, the shell cracks and the water goes flat.

06How do we open them behind the bar?

Each one is trimmed with a soft cap, so a coconut punch or the heel of a bar knife opens it in a few seconds. Every trade order comes with a quick how-to card.

07How much water is in each one?

Around 300 to 400ml. That’s enough for a straight-up coconut water, or to pour some off and build a cocktail in the shell.

08Can we get our own logo etched?

Yes. Custom etching starts from 10 crates. Send us your logo and we’ll laser it into the shaved face, just like the Nutcase badge.

09How long does custom etching take?

About a week from when you sign off the artwork. We send a photo of a test coconut first so you can see it before the run.

10What do we do with the empty shells?

They’re fully compostable. Plenty of venues send them to a local compost or garden programme.
